3. Nettle: Nutrients for Vitality
Nettle is a wonderful herb for women – and men – of all ages. It is especially beneficial for women going through menopause because it provides relief from symptoms and promotes future wellness. Dried nettle is frequently consumed as a tincture, tea or capsule. The dried leaves may be added to nutritional smoothies.
Your entire body will benefit from nettle’s rich supply of vitamins and minerals. Nutrients in nettle help to strengthen hair, which sometimes thins during menopause. It contains rich supplies of calcium and magnesium that prevent against bone loss, and promotes a healthy fluid balance, alleviating bloating, water retention, hypertension and cardiovascular illnesses.
The herb also helps to ensure that hormones function optimally. Nettle gently improves energy levels, relieves fatigue, and boosts feelings of wellbeing and vitality. Nettle is very safe and well tolerated by most people.
Laughing through menopause does not negate the changes that come with it, but it can put some of the discomforts into perspective.
